Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 15 = 5(-4x - 3)

Multiply the terms in the bracket

5x - 15 = - 20x - 15

Group like terms

Send the constants to the right side of the line and those with variables to the left side

That's

5x + 20x = - 15 + 15

Simplify

25x = 0

Divide both sides by 25

We have the final answer as

x = 0

Hope this helps you

Answer:

x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 15 = 5(-4x - 3)

To find the solution to this equation, we have to get x by itself on one side of the equation.

First, distribute the 5 on the right side. Multiply each term by 5.

5x - 15= (5*-4x) + (5*-3)

5x-15 = -20x + (5*-3)

5x-15= -20x -15

Next, add 20x to both sides of the equation.

(5x+20x) -15 = (-20x+20x) -15

(5+20x) -15 = -15

25x -15=-15

Next, add 15 to both sides of the equation.

25x -15 +15 = -15+15

25x= -15+15

25x=0

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 25.

25x/25=0/25

x= 0/25

x= 0

The solution to this equation is x=0
